A facet of the redemptive work of Christ that we do not focus on enough, in my opinion, is that Jesus died firstly for His Father, and secondly for us. The Father wanted to reach out to us, to embrace us, to love us, but our nature was a sin nature. Before the redemptive workContinue reading “Identification 07: Jesus Died for God!”

Identification 06: You Are Loved Enough to Die For!
“God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) God loves you so much that He sent Jesus to die for you on the cross. Christ died for you. That needs to seep into how you see yourself. You see you know that youContinue reading “Identification 06: You Are Loved Enough to Die For!”
Identification 05: Identification and Power
The main reason the church – and the Christians in it – are powerless – is a lack of understanding about identification. One of the greatest tragedies in the church is people who actually think the gifts of the Spirit come from satan – that’s a huge level of deception indeed. The root of thatContinue reading “Identification 05: Identification and Power”
Identification 04 Stop the Hindrances to the Revelation
One of the most famous parables told is the parable of the sower in Matthew 13: 3 He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. 4 As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came andContinue reading “Identification 04 Stop the Hindrances to the Revelation”
Identification 03 Born Again!
I hope you all realize the truth and know that your first birth wasn’t up to much. I’m sure your parents rejoiced and everyone thought you were a beautiful baby, but you were born with a sinful and selfish nature, your live from the moment you were born is totally centred on your self andContinue reading “Identification 03 Born Again!”
Identification 02 It Must Begin with Jesus!
There is no one reading this who is so brilliant, so holy, so pure that God accepts them on their behaviour and attitude. If you don’t understand that, not much else will make sense. Only Christ can make you acceptable to God. Only Christ can make you holy. Only Christ can make you righteous. YourContinue reading “Identification 02 It Must Begin with Jesus!”
Identification 01 There is Only One Key to Freedom
Recently, I have been dealing with and trying to help people who hold thoughts that are simply not true. They think they are failures, they think they have sinned so badly God cannot use them or help them, that God is struggling to forgive them or love them. What struck me about these situations isContinue reading “Identification 01 There is Only One Key to Freedom”
Grace in Switzerland!

So, last week,Continue reading “Grace in Switzerland!”
The Fruit of the Spirit 15: Don’t Worry about Looking Silly!
When you decide to love others with the love that is from the spirit, you can look weak, look foolish, look all sorts of things. When you are walking in that kind of spiritual love, there’s no fear in it, so carnal people might confuse that kind of love with arrogance or over-confidence because theyContinue reading “The Fruit of the Spirit 15: Don’t Worry about Looking Silly!”
The Fruit of the Spirit 14: Strife is Powerlessness
When you are walking in your flesh, yielding to pride and strife, satan loves it, because in that place, you are zero danger to him at all. You are not going to be moving mountains, not going to be resisting the devil, not going to be having powerful church services – in fact, you probablyContinue reading “The Fruit of the Spirit 14: Strife is Powerlessness”
